Incorrectly sized
accessories cannot be adequately guarded or
controlled.
The arbor size of wheels, flanges, backing
pads or any other accessory must properly
fit the spindle of the power tool.
Accessories
with arbor holes that do not match the mounting
hardware of the power tool will run out of
balance, vibrate excessively and may cause
loss of control.
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before
each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheels for chips and cracks,
backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear,
wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If
power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect
for damage or install an undamaged
accessory. After inspecting and installing an
accessory, position yourself and bystanders
away from the plane of the rotating
accessory and run the power tool at
maximum no-load speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will normally break apart
during this test time.
Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As
appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or
workpiece fragments. The eye protection
must be capable of stopping flying debris
generated by various operations.
The eye
protection must be capable of stopping flying
debris generated by various operations. The
dust mask or respirator must be capable of
filtrating particles generated by your operation.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may
cause hearing loss.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken
accessory may fly away and cause injury
beyond immediate area of operation.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting
accessory contacting a ″ live ″ wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool ″ live ″ and
shock the operator.
Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory.
If you lose control, the cord may be
cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be
pulled into the spinning accessory.
Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop.
The
spinning accessory may grab the surface and
pull the power tool out of your control.
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at
your side.
Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents.
The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the
housing and excessive accumulation of
powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite these
materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants
may result in electrocution or shock.
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating cutting disc. Pinching or
snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating
disc which in turn causes the uncontrolled
power tool to be forced in the direction opposite
of the accessory’s rotation at the point of the
binding.
